You don't see those every day. Even rarer is that it has now come to <a target="_blank" href="https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-us/games/verdun/cid=%24CUSA03395_00">PS4</a>! The game is inspired by the <a target="_blank" href="https://firstworldwar.com/battles/verdun.htm">Battle of Verdun France in 1916</a> and features authentic period weaponry (and realistic bullet physics). Squad based, trench warfare ahoy! Thanks to the folks behind <a target="_blank" href="https://www.verdungame.com/"><em>Verdun</em></a>, we have ten lovely copies to give to you folks (five for each region, EU &amp; NA)! Which is awesome, because this game is really cool, and and we rarely get to hook up our EU family.</p>
<p><em><strong>What do you have to do to win?</strong></em> Paint me like your French girls or <strong>just leave a comment below.</strong></p>

We somehow didn't deter them last time!</p>
<p>What is <em>Regicide</em> you ask (again, I might add)? It's about the bloodiest, most amazing take on chess that I've seen. It has two modes. Classic mode follows old-school chess rules, but more murder-y. Regicide mode let's you plan your strategy and utilize tactical abilities (and some crazy powers too) to wipe your enemies clean off the board. Game has online and single player, as well as letting you choose either the Space Marines or the Orks! Why listen to my little blurb? Watch the gameplay video below and then go play with the fine folks who made it!</p>
<p>This is all going down at <strong>3pm PST on Sunday the 22nd. </strong>It will be on the game's <a href="https://twitch.tv/wh40kregicide" target="_blank">Twitch channel here</a>. Join in the chat to play or shoot them an <a href="mailto:social@hammerfallpublishing.com" target="_blank">email here</a>, to setup something in advance. I will be in chat, there might be the handing out of some game codes and even some hoodies (dat Spush Mareeen one)!</p> <p>

<p>As far as special edition swag goes, a working mini-fridge is pretty cool and practical versus, say, <a href="https://www.destructoid.com/bethesda-is-releasing-a-fallout-4-pip-boy-edition-with-a-real-pip-boy-293953.phtml">a plastic armband with non-working buttons</a>&nbsp;that only <a href="https://www.destructoid.com/see-if-your-phone-will-fit-the-fallout-4-pip-boy-edition-295268.phtml">fits small phones for pleebs</a>.

Can you guess the game?2015-06-05T11:00:00Z2015-06-05T11:00:00Z<p>Everyone loves good teas. Green teas, black teas, barley teas (the best tea despite not technically being tea), Charles Barkley teas. Well, how about an E3 badge teas? I will stop the unfunny joke now. The stretch was steep.</p>
<p>Anyways! Oh my lord on a skateboard, E3 is almost a week away. Next Sunday I'll be hopping on a plane at 7AM bound for horrible Los Angeles, video games, and Jordan's creamy legs IRL. Ah, the City of Angles. 45 degrees, 90 degrees -- it has 'em all.</p>
<p>Atlus has been the E3 badge insert sponsor for the four plus years I've been at Destructoid (here's <a target="_blank" href="https://www.destructoid.com/teaser-here-s-the-e3-2014-badge-insert-can-you-guess-the-game--275859.phtml">2011-2013</a>, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.destructoid.com/revealed-here-is-your-e3-badge-artwork-276023.phtml">2014</a>) and that's continuing for 2015 so we're again teasing this piece of historical cardboard before a full reveal next week ahead of the show.</p>
<p>The blank insert is above. I took a guess using the magic of photo editing. I think Atlus dumps <em>Persona 5</em> to make a Matty Lesko game. Maybe that's distracting. I'll upload a clean version below.</p>
<p>Whip up your best photo manipulation in the comments. There are two categories: correctness (nailing which Atlus title will be featured) and hilarity (sticking question mark suit infomercial man on the E3 badge).</p> <p>

<p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.destructoid.com/experience-e3-2015-with-playstation-292583.phtml">Theaters across North America will be live-streaming Sony's E3 press conference</a>, as well as showing an exclusive thirty minute post-show interview. There'll be Sony-flavoured goodies for all attendees, too.</p>
<p>80 percent of tickets have been allocated to ticket holders, and 20 percent will be reserved for those on the waiting list. The latter will be admitted on a first come, first served basis.&nbsp;</p>
<p>I'd list all the venues here but my hand would fall off, but go&nbsp;<a href="https://playstatione3.eventgrid.com/UnitedStates" target="_blank">here</a>, pop in your zip code, and the site will select the theater closest to you. You need to be 17+ and may be asked for ID so: you've been warned.&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>The events --</span>&nbsp;starting at 6pm PT on June 15 -- will be coming to every US state and three cities in Canada.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Are you planning on attending? Let us know how you get on securing tickets, and don't forget to let us know below what surprises you think Sony might have in store for us this year.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Am I jealous that I'm not in the States? No. Of course not. Why would I be. I don't care. Stop going on about it. I don't want to go anyway. No, seriously, stop it. Sob.</p> <p>

<p>In a recent&nbsp;<a href="https://blog.us.playstation.com/2015/05/21/experience-e3-2015-live-in-theaters-on-june-15th/" rel="nofollow">PlayStation blog</a>&nbsp;post, Sony confirmed that the free event -- starting at 6pm PT on June 15 -- will be coming to every US state and three cities in Canada.&nbsp;</p>
<p>While the venues themselves have yet to be confirmed, free tickets are available from 9am PT on May 27&nbsp;at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.playstation.com/en-us/campaigns/2015/e3experience/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">playstation.com/e3experience</a>. Those lucky enough to snag a ticket&nbsp;will take home "a PlayStation surprise, which will consist of PlayStation goods and digital codes [they] can&rsquo;t disclose yet." You'll need to be able to prove that you're aged 17+ to enter.</p>
<p>"You and fellow members of the PlayStation community will get to see the full PlayStation E3 press conference in HD on the big screen, plus there are special bonuses for those who come out to the theater experience," <a href="https://blog.us.playstation.com/2015/05/21/experience-e3-2015-live-in-theaters-on-june-15th/" rel="nofollow">writes host Geoff Keighley</a>. "I&rsquo;ll be hosting an exclusive 30-minute in-theater post show with extended footage and interviews with developers."</p>
<div id="article-content" class="article-content">
<div></div>
</div>
<p>"To make it fair to everyone in the community, this year we are giving you advance notice of ticket sales. Eighty percent of theater capacity will be reserved for ticket holders, with 20 percent of the theater held for those on the wait list, who will be admitted on a first-come, first-served basis. We saw the big lines last year and want to make sure that everyone has a fair chance to be in the theater."</p>
<p>Did you attend one of the PlayStation E3 Experience showings last year? Planning on going again this year? What would you most like to see in one of 'em swag bags?</p> <p>

Tomorrow is the final day to earn Coins, register games, and sign up for new Club Nintendo membership. Don't procrastinate.</p>
<p>There's a bunch of compelling games <a target="_blank" href="https://www.destructoid.com/here-are-some-recommendations-for-club-nintendo-s-new-massive-reward-dump-287065.phtml">available</a>, so be sure to scrounge up any remaining Club Nintendo leaflets you haven't used, register codes, fill out surveys, and load up on Coins.</p>
<p>Note: the last day to actually <em>redeem</em> Coins (or access your Club Nintendo account) is June 30.</p> <p>

There is one copy for each platform (XB1 and PS4) and to win one, it's fairly simple. Tell us which of the seven deadly sins you'd turn into a weapon and what that weapon would be (i.e. Gluttony: A shotgun style weapon that shoots globs of food at the enemy, making them get larger and larger until they explode). Bonus points for creating an MSPaint image of said weapon! <em>Make sure to include which platform you'd like the game for in your entry.</em></p> <p>

<p>According to Nintendo, "Quantities are limited [and] due to high demand pre-orders will not be available for this item." There's always eBay. (Ugh.)</p>

<p>Essentially, you'll need to play four of the publisher's games -- <em>Massive Chalice </em>(Double Fine, booth #117), <em>Costume Quest 2</em>, <em>Videoball</em>, and <em>Slender: The Arrival </em>(Midnight City, booth #6808) -- to collect buttons, then head to the Oni Press and Fangamer booth (#3808) to get the fifth, final button for reading the <em>Costume Quest: Invasion of the Candy Snatchers</em> comic.</p>
<p>Then, with all five buttons, you can claim one of two prizes: either a Midnight City skull t-shirt or a <em>Costume Quest 2&nbsp; </em>Treatin' Bag.

The <a target="_blank" href="https://club.nintendo.com/rewards.do">physical goodies</a> are back, with awesome Mario and Luigi pouches, a <em>Pikmin</em> bag, and a Yoshi T-shirt. <br /><br />Up for grabs are also downloadable titles <em>Super Metroid</em>, <em>3D Classics: Kirby's Adventure</em>, <em>Brain Age Express: Arts and Letters</em>, and <em>Mario Kart 64</em>. All of these games will be available until June 8, so if you see something you like and don't have enough coins for a physical reward that's worth your while, consider adding a new game to your backlog. Like I do. I just toss game after game onto it like I think there's some magical stretch of 30 years where I'll eventually have time for them all. That's never going to happen.</p>

However, this promotional breakfast cereal that Adult Swim and Necrophone Games sent our way gives a good feel for what kind of gags you'll find in the game.

<p>Change anything? I particularly dig that they got Nintendo president Satoru Iwata and <em>Zelda </em>producer Eiji Aonuma to show off the chest. For as hard as these two surely work, it's nice to see them have some fun.</p>

If you're down in the dirty south, apply so that you might be one of the gamers invited to Bethesda's Play Test Lab. They're looking to use player feedback at this lab (located at the idSoftware offices) starting this month. This is volunteer work, mind you.</p>
<p>Apply at&nbsp;<a href="https://playtest.bethsoft.com/">playtest.bethsoft.com</a>&nbsp;to get in on the play tests. Benefits include getting to play games before they're released and scoring Bethesda swag. You must be 18 or over to apply.</p>

Who do I know in Uruguay? The envelope felt thick, so I was anxious to see what was inside. The contents were increasingly&nbsp;peculiar: an outstretched hand calling out for help from a circus tent. I played along.</p>
<p>Then <em>... <strong>chomp!</strong></em></p>
<p>Never saw it coming.</p>
<p>It just goes to show: you don't have to spend a fortune to do clever gaming PR. Kudos to <a href="https://blog.kalio.net/" target="_blank">Kalio</a>. It just takes some out of the <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">box</span> envelope thinking. The promotion belongs to an indie game called<em>&nbsp;<a href="https://ringrun.com/" target="_blank">RingRun Circus</a></em>, a&nbsp;dizzying&nbsp;puzzle platforming title coming to iOS later this year. Check out their game trailer below. I'll be on the lookout for the lovely Nina during GDC!</p> <p>

But I'm real tempted to get myself a full set of these NECA <em>Team Fortress 2 </em>figures. Valve has also teamed up with the esteemed toy maker for a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.destructoid.com/neca-is-making-half-life-2-gravity-gun-replicas-240807.phtml">range of <em>Half Life 2</em> gravity guns</a>.</p>
<p>I'm itching for the full set so I can make a great action sequence on my shelf, but right now, I'm limited to just the Pyro and everyone's favourite one-eyed&nbsp;Highlander, the Demoman. You can purchase the figures from Amazon or <a target="_blank" href="https://store.valvesoftware.com/index.php?t=2&amp;g=7">Valve's own store</a>.

<p>Have you picked up your copy of the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.destructoid.com/nintendo-power-s-last-hurrah-leaves-me-in-tears-240170.phtml">final <em>Nintendo Power</em></a> yet? Looking through it again, I still have trouble accepting that a piece of my childhood is gone for good. However, thanks to the magic of the Internet, a trip down memory lane is but a click away.</p>
<p>There are many things I loved about <em>Nintendo Power</em> -- the maps, the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.destructoid.com/offbeat-hall-of-fame-a-link-to-the-past-the-comic-216048.phtml">comics</a>, the Classified Information cheats section that always devoted a page or two to <em>Super Mario World</em> -- but something about physical goodies always filled me with a special glee. And there was no better repository of Nintendo merchandise in the 90s than the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.videogamemm.com/v/Catalogs/">Super Power Supplies</a> catalog!</p>
<p>Before digital retailers became a thing, mail order catalogs were the only way to obtain nifty items unavailable in stores. For the Nintendo generation, Super Power Supplies was our shopping mecca. Because how cool was the kid wearing a sick-ass Fulgore<em> </em>mask on Halloween?</p> <p>

These paper masks (via <a target="_blank" href="https://superpunch.blogspot.com/2012/08/illustration-roundup_29.html">Super Punch</a>) for the game are simultaneously funny and downright terrifying.</p>
<p>While Bethesda will have <em>DOOM 3: BFG Edition </em>and <em>Dishonored </em><a target="_blank" href="https://www.bethblog.com/2012/08/29/pax-prime-2012-come-to-our-booth-and-dishonored-party/">playable at PAX</a>, in addition to community events for the latter, all I care about now are these ridiculous things.</p>
<p>My goal is to get the one with the lips for Jim to use in future videos. It's the kind of thing you would hide in someone's house -- either taped to the underside of a toilet seat, or placed in a cabinet -- and then feel really terrible knowing that you will be directly responsible for scaring them to death.</p> <p>

I would like you all to serve as witnesses in the event of my disappearance, because I am fairly certain this can be classed as a threat of some kind.&nbsp;</p>
<p>So yeah, that's a gravestone, made out of proper stone n' stuff. I do have to say, it's probably the classiest bit of swag that's swept this way in a while. If I'm going to get accused of being "paid off," it might as well be for a miniature chunk of rock with my death printed on it.</p>
<p>Anyway, Destructoid's review (and the game) goes live on August 14.</p> <p>

Wrath of the Dead Rabbit</em>, which I <a target="_blank" href="https://www.destructoid.com/preview-hell-yeah-wrath-of-the-dead-rabbit-223792.phtml">recommend seeing</a>, the Sega booths (#448 and #548) will have:</p>

<li><em>Jet Set Radio</em></li>
<li><em>House of the Dead 4</em></li>
<li><em>Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown</em></li>

<li><em>Total War Battles: Shogun</em></li>
<li><em>Alexandria Bloodshow</em></li>
<li><em>Sonic &amp; SEGA All-Stars Racing</em></li>
</ul>
<p>By now, you're probably wondering about that <em>Aliens</em> bandana. Sega will be bringing Facehugger ones as well, plus Chainsaw Poo hats, Sega lollipops and magnets, <em>Jet Set Radio</em> buttons, tote bags for anyone with a Sega outfit or tattoo, and more swag that's yet to be revealed. In short: you'll want to stop by.</p> <p>

<p>Did you know that <em>Rhythm Heaven Fever</em> was getting a special edition? Neither did I. Then I got this box in the mail this morning. I'm pretty sure that this special edition won't be sold in stores, but if Nintendo&nbsp;decides&nbsp;to change its mind on that, they're sure to make a killing when the game hits stores on&nbsp;February&nbsp;13th.</p>
<p>Check out the video and you'll understand what I mean.</p> <p>

<p>Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and salutations December 25! Today marks the last of the 25 Days of Giving. We've given thousands of dollars worth of stuff over the course of the month thanks to so many <a target="_blank" href="https://www.destructoid.com/headless-cat-presents-the-25-days-of-giving--216297.phtml">awesome gaming companies</a> that wanted to brighten up the holidays.</p>
<p>Today, I'm giving away a pile of swag that I've been hording all year long from the many videogame events I attend for Destructoid. The majority of the swag is made up of shirts, ranging from small to XXL sizes. You can see every shirt in the gallery but here are some of the rarer ones from the pile:</p>
<ul>
<li><em>Saints Row: The Third</em> I &lt;3 Rim jobs </li>
<li><em>Borderlands 2</em> logo tee</li>
<li><em>Bionic Commando</em> featuring Hitler's exploding face</li>
<li><em>Dark souls</em> tee</li>
<li><em>Dues Ex: Human Revolution</em> Steampunk bunny</li>
<li><em>Tatsunoko vs Capcom</em> tee</li>
<li><em>Halo: Anniversary</em> tee</li>
<li><em>Madworld</em> tee</li>
<li>Bethesda/<em>Skyrim</em> tee</li>
</ul>
<p>Plus there's a bunch of random items thrown in too. The <em>Lollipop Chainsaw</em> foam chainsaw, a <em>Duke Nukem</em> belt buckle, <em>Dead Space</em> art book,<em> Super Meat Boy</em> comic, <em>Bulletstorm</em> nutcracker and so much more.</p>
<p>All this will be going to <strong>one</strong> lucky person and to enter, leave a comment below with your highlight of 2011. Doesn't have to be gaming related, just tell me something from 2011 that made your year special. You have until<strong> 11:59PM CST</strong> to enter and contest is open to anyone with a US based address we can ship the prize to. Note that this isn't a random giveaway either, so put some thought into your entries. Good luck!</p> <p>

<p>Pretty rad for a<em> Transformers</em> fanboy like me. Can't wait for the game, either.</p> <p>

This is a limited edition replica of the&nbsp;artifact, found in the <em>Jak &amp; Daxter</em> series, and I've taken some photos of it because it's a Friday in December, so why not?</p>
<p>After ten years, can we be honest? That's not an orb. Orbs don't look like Easter eggs. I should know since I eat five Easter eggs a day because I am fat.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The<em> Jak &amp; Daxter Collection</em> will be presenting the original three games with HD and 3D support in February. That'll be quite exciting, won't it?</p> <p>

CafePress has always been an online retailer centered around user-created content, so it's very appropriate.</p>
<p>It's as easy as going to <a href="https://xbox.cafepress.com/" target="_blank">xbox.cafepress.com</a>, entering your Gamer Tag and selecting one of ten poses you want to appear on whatever various items you want. That is, if you actually want anything. Who out there cares enough about their avatar to do this? Sure, <em>my</em> Master Chief avatar will always look okay, but what if you try to get your avatar to resemble yourself and one day you decide to change up your avatar? All you'll have is a reminder of what your avatar <em>used</em> to look like.</p> <p>

<p>That thing attached to the notebook is a USB drive with a new trailer that will go live on Halloween itself, so keep watching on Monday for that bad boy to drop.&nbsp;</p>

<p>They're so cute! &nbsp;Far too cute to eat, right? &nbsp;I mean, I should freeze these forever and crawl into the freezer every night to hang out with them ... and tell them stories ... and build a glacial fortress of gelatin and <a href="https://www.destructoid.com/kirby-is-made-of-string-in-kirby-s-epic-yarn-180091.phtml">yarn</a>. Nevermind, let's devour them after&nbsp;the Destructoid Show tonight. &nbsp;A video is coming soon.</p>

Now, <em>everything</em> is pretty when it comes to upcoming 3DS game <em><a href="https://www.destructoid.com/tgs-bravely-default-gave-me-goosebumps-211561.phtml" target="_blank">Bravely Default</a></em>. Even the AR card is pretty!</p>
<p>Above you'll see the front of the card as well as the envelope it comes in. It features the fairy from <em>Bravely Default: Flying Fairy</em>. Be sure to see the back of the card in our gallery below. It's also very pretty!</p> <p>
